Dark Horse Tres Blueberry Stout

Brewed by Dark Horse Brewing Company
Style: Dry Stout
Marshall, Michigan USA

Bottle. Deep black in color with a nice tan head. Very nice blueberry aroma. Lots of bluberries in the nose. Flavor is malty and fruity. Chocolate and caramel notes. Finish is blueberry like. Medium bodied. Nice beer, Enjoyable.

Chunky, eruptive bronze foam. Impenetrable black liquid. Lively, fresh, earthy aroma of freshly mashed blueberries, herbs, ginger, perfume, and wood. Hints of leaf, port, and black malts. Blueberries add a floral touch. Airy and phenolic. A thin mouthfeel lies beneath the fluffy carbonation and tries to turn creamy. Initial note of acidity with charcoal, leather, grass, and meaty molasses flavors. Touch of vanilla, prunes, and baker’s chocolate. Burnt malt overload. Lovely finishing notes of toffee, coconut, and espresso. This sample was slightly metallic and oxidized, but the fresh blueberry notes and rich, Imperialesque burnt malt flavors were exquisite. Cheers, Prof!

Thanks to Beerdrenched for sharing yet another enjoyable beer. Pours almost black with a dark brown head. Aroma has lots of blueberries and dark chocolate. Medium / light body witha a small amount of carbonation. Taste has roasted malt with dark blueberries. There is also some dark chocolate and tanginess. Finish has roaste and light blueberries and keeps with the chocolate aspects. Very enjoyable fruit beer.

draft at the brewpub - Pours black with a thin, fading, tan head. The aroma has roasted malts and lots of blueberries. Roasted malt and blueberries carry the flavor with some mild chocolate notes. Full bodied, lightly carbonated, and smoothing going down, this sweet stout is a quality brew.

Bottle, pours black with a short tan head. Surprisingly (to me) the blueberries power their way thru the coffee and chocolate.

12oz bottle. Pours black with a small chocolate head. Awesome aromas of chocolate, blueberry, and toffee. The light blueberry flavor was just right, balanced by a heavy malt presence and a tiny bit of hops.

12 oz. bottle via trade (can’t remember who, sorry) - Pours a dark brown color with a 3/4 finger thick tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is basicly Blueberries. Flavor is roasted malt with a touch of bluberry. Has a bitter, thin palate. Light to medium body. This beer could use a tad more in the mouthfeel and body departments. Still, a decent beer. Thanks to whomever sent this.

Bottle: Black pour, about a fingers worth of dark tan head. Aroma was mostly blueberries, with a hint of roastiness. Flavor blueberries and a roasty bitterness. Enjoyable brew.
